Historic district study committee

In this exercise, you will act as a member of a historic district Study Committee. Before a historic district can be established, the City Council must establish such a Study Committee to:

1) review the buildings in the proposed area and
2) recommend district boundaries.

The first activity of the Study Committee is to review buildings that potentially could be located in a historic district. It evaluates each building's potential historic significance, both individually and as contributing to a district.

The committee's work concludes with a report submitted to City Council recommending whether or not a historic district is justified and, if so, the reasons for that determination.
